Hi,
Now Mobox uses i3lock. My problem is the same as in this topic.
https://forum.maboxlinux.org/t/powermanagement-lock-screen-when-system-is-going-to-sleep-solved/237
I can lock my screen, but the lid of my comp doesnt. I got the message “None of the screen runs successfully…”
Thank you for your help. 
Best regards

Hi @horvjoe,
A while back, I created a guide about handling lid close action and locking the screen with betterlockscreen.
Since you’re using i3lock, here’s a quick tip to adapt the guide to your setup:
Wherever you see:
/usr/bin/betterlockscreen --lock
replace it with:
/usr/bin/i3lock
Here’s the link to the guide:
Shortcut (W-A-l), start jgmenu screenlocker.
For changing screenlocker from i3lock to betterlockscreen, go to edit config file.
Thank you,
I made as You suggest, but I have problem.
yay xxs-lock
My problem is in the next comment.
My problem:
If I edit the autostart config file to run the lockscreen.sh (I made it executable), and put this into it:
#!/bin/bash
while true; do
xss-lock -- betterlockscreen --lock
# Sleep for 1 second
sleep 1
done
The rest of the autostart processes (thunderbird, numlock, opensnitch, dropbox, conky) wont start - they are on the Mabox XDG autostart editor.
I turned off powermanagement service.
Thank you
How do you invoke your script (lockscreen.sh) ? And from where?
I found the solution…
I made a lockscreen.desktop entry for the script in the /home/usr/.config/autostart/, and it works fine.
But I dont understand - if I put it into and edit the autostart file manually, why do not start the desktop entries in the //home/usr/.config/autostart/ directory???
Thank you
I don’t know how you invoked it from ~/.config/openbox/autostart.
Running this script in the background should work fine from there
Something like:
lockscreen.sh &
I screwed…
/home/usr/.config/autostart/lockscreen.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Lockscreen
Comment=Lockscreen script
Icon=
Exec=/etc/acpi/lockscreen.sh
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Hidden=false
After this - in the gui can be make it start with a tick.
No, you did not. The important thing is you made it - one way or another
Oh my… I forgot the “&” thats why stopped the autostart config file…
Im so beginner…
Thank you for your help - Im really appreciate it.
Thank you very much.
Don’t be so modest, you did great. I see an advanced user here.
Enjoy tinkering 
Hi @horvjoe ,
I forgot about the typo xxs-lock. I have to change that. Thanks.
How one can add a script to autostart. The easy way.
You add this line somewhere halfway at the list. At least not as last one.
(lockscreen.sh) &
Thats it. From now it will start from boot.
A wee bit more xtra info:
I put it between () because now you can also choose to give it a sleep time if needed.
(sleep 5s; locksceen.sh) &
A good nice .desktop is good too though 
Changed xxs with xss. thanks
I put it into my autostart config. Looks like this now:
## Screenlock
(sleep 5s; /etc/acpi/locksceen.sh) &
## Panel
(sleep 1s && mb-tint2-session) &
## Background
(sleep 2s && nitrogen --restore) &
## Optionally enable file manager in daemon mode for automounting
(sleep 1s && pcmanfm -d) &
## Optionally disable touchpad
#/usr/bin/synclient TouchpadOff=1 &
## Mabox scripts - DO NOT DISABLE
(sleep 1s && mabox-obstart startopenbox) &
## Numlock ON
numlockx &
That is the eof.
So yesterday it worked fine - at the end of the config. And I tried to find i3lock config file, and tried to config i3lock not to lock screen after 10 minutes, and not to get grey screen, but blur - like system uses. I run i3lock from terminal, and tried switches - but cant find this options - of course read through the manual as well.
Now it doesn’t work. When I close the lid - the system suspends, but when I open it, no screen lock. 
I cant find the solutions, and the reason.
It looks like you mixing up Part 1 and Part 2 in the manual.
Start over with part2.
Follow PART 2 step by step. Exact path, etc.
Try that. I quess that fill fix it.
Yes - it was a typo… thank you. Works fine.
So my next question is how to configure i3lock. I have read through the manual - but I would like to change a longer lock time and blur the screen as its in the Mabox system.
I looked through .config, and other places - but I cant find anything.
Thank you
Hi @horvjoe ,
Nice that the lid close works.
For i3lock.
Like blur can be done with hotkey (W-A-L).
# ScreenLocker program: betterlockscreen or i3lock
screenlocker=betterlockscreen
The interval for blanking screen i don’t know how to change that from mabox menu.
I created my own way’s for it.
This command gives an overview of the energie settings.
xset -q
This line is in your interest
Standby: 100 Suspend: 700 Off: 900
Repeat this command after change the value to your liking.
xset dpms 100 700 900
The 100 (standby) is the one you want to change.
Preview: personal menu for delay blanking screen.
I saw the Screen locker menu, but I thought its for the system locker (which I can start from the Exit menu), cos if I lock the screnn from the Exit menu its lock with blurring. While when its hung up its a grey screen. It went to grey after locking - but havent restarted. Tomorrow - its late now.
I set from the Screen locker menu the blur, and thank you for the Xset config. I use the gui - but now its disabled (by me).
I have 2 more questions - these are the lasts.
Thank you for your help
ps: Nice menu,
Unfortuanly i don’t use a laptop at the moment, so i can’t reproduce numlock situation.
Numlock should stay the same. Can’t give an answer to that.
About mpv.
Try this: Put this script in autostart, to start at boot.
dpms-mpv.sh
#!/bin/bash
while true; do
# Check if Stremio is running
if pgrep -x "mpv" > /dev/null; then
# Disable DPMS blanking
xset s off -dpms
fi
# Wait for X seconds before checking again
sleep 5
done
Add line to autostart…
(sleep 7s && dpms-mpv.sh) &
Mabox hotkey Toggle dpms [on of ] = (W-A-B).
Personaly i have in conky and tint2 an icon that shows me the status.
When i have more time i can make a post about the complete setup for blanking.
A quick one for now.
Name it : noblank-conky.sh and put in the ~/bin dir.
#!/bin/bash
DELAY="$(xset q | grep "Standby" | awk '{ print $2 }')"
function DPMS_check {
! xset q | grep Enabled > /dev/null
}
if DPMS_check
then
printf "\${voffset -20}\${font FontAwesome:style=Solid:pixelsize=17}\${color red}\${goto 27}\uf0f4\${font}"
else
printf "\${voffset -20}\${font FontAwesome:style=Solid:pixelsize=17}\${color orange}\${goto 27}\uf0f4\${font}"
Put this line in one of your favorite conky. At the top somewhere.
${goto 15}${execpi 2 noblank-conky.sh}${color}${voffset +20}
It need probably some edit, for position of the icon.
${goto 15}
${voffset +20}
Blanking = on (interval 100)
blanking = off
Hope this helps a bit to find out your way.
I checked mpv with noblank.
For me the screen does not blank when play mpv or firefox video. Fullscreen or not doesn’t matter.
Can you show the output of this.
xset -q
The post above should not be needed for mpv.
